When attempting to start Firefox I get "fire fox is already running, but is not responding." error i have gone through the whole sequence in the chat for this issue and nothing worked. I have uninstalled FireFox and reinstalled and get the same error.

Did you try to reset your profile or run a clean profile?

From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may be caused by the clear history settings. It was suppose to have been fixed in v30.

Type about:preferences <Enter> in the address bar.

Select Privacy.

The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up in Windows. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/997866 {web link}

Select Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Then restart.
